Expect boggy, off-road terrain; trail shoes are mandatory and a finish-area shoe change is advised.

Not a race—regrouping points and a steady pace keep everyone together, aimed at those who can run a road 10km in under 60 minutes. It's non-profit, with proceeds supporting costs and a local charity.
